Usain Bolt makes soccer debut for Central Coast Mariners in 6-1 win

Usain Bolt said it would take four months for him to reach his best after a first football cameo appearance for A-League club Central Coast Mariners on Friday.

A crowd of 9,958 -- around 2,500 higher than the Mariners' average home attendance last season -- turned out for Bolt's bit-part role on his Mariners debut.

"I was a little bit nervous, but as soon as I got on the field I think the nerves went away,' Bolt told Fox Sports. "I wish I had more touches, but I'm not fit yet, but I've just got to put in the work and get up to speed."
